Hegel’s philosophy. He pays particular attention to the swinging of Hegel’s theory ‘the right side up’ and standing him on a pair of feet instead of the head. Marx undertook the difficult task of ensuring a unity of man in a way quite different from the attempts made by either Kant or Hegel. They all wanted to abolish the contingency in human life, but in Marx’s thought the abolishing of the contingency is nothing else but a subjecting of a human being to his/her own existence. A man is no longer dependent on alienated forces that he has created himself, neither is he dependent on an anonymous society. Taking clue from Kołakowski we can say that exteriorisation of natural forces has replaced exteriorisation of consciousness and the Absolute Being of man is realized in his/her actual being.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Karl Marx’s ‘absolute being of man’in the thought of Leszek Kołakowski}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/109533/PDF/PF%204-18%2028-A.Turon-Kowalska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2018.125515}, keywords={L.
